For many churches in America today, they know why church safety and security is an important ministry for their church. Churches are realizing that ignoring the facts regarding church security is negligent on their part. Even as that is true, many churches are not sure how or what to do with the information. I regularly talk with churches that wisely are asking for help to move them from the WHY to the HOW.

Throughout the country there are many people that are focused on the armed response for something that is not highly likely to happen. Yes, you prepare for it, but it should not be the focus. People with the narrow view that their security focus needs to be on the armed response or that because they have concealed carry persons (I call certificate holders) in their congregation don’t truly understand what church security is about. These churches are putting their “church” and church security as a whole in a huge liability situation.
